do take a look at your tires on your truck.... I have a F150 with max tow package and integrated trailer brake, so you would think they would use appropriate tires for towing.... NOPE.. My truck has P tires.. with a very soft sidewall... gives me a squishy/squirrelly feeling if I don't put extra air in the tires.. Gives me a nice comfy ride for everyday... much smoother than my previous truck... however, I am going to put LT (light truck) tires on it, when I replace in a few more miles.. it will make daily ride a bit rougher, but I understand it will be much better when I am towing. I have talked to an RV safety instructor about the situation and several tire folks and determined that making that change is sufficient for situation. I have 2010 F150 pulling a 28ft trailer that is 5200 lbs empty (I know it is more loaded, I just haven't had the chance to get it weighed loaded and am cautious of the weight of stuff I load).
